The Danish Cheese Institute rediscovered this old recipe in 1951. Previously known as Danish Port Salut, it is now named Esrom, after the monks who made this forgotten cheese in Esrom Monastery. Made from partially skimmed cow's milk, it is slow-ripened with starter cultures for 10-12 weeks. Esrom has an orange, semi-hard rind that has been rubbed with brine during the aging process. Its interior is semi-soft with a supple texture and irregularly shaped holes. It is full-flavored with a big, rich, pungent aroma and becomes spicier as it ages.

Esrom has been my favorite cheese for many years. It was a lot easier to get when I lived in New York but thanks to igourmet I can still enjoy it elsewhere.

Whole Form Esrom...How long in the Fridge?

The whole form Esrom was SO delicious, that I am thinking of ordering 2 or 3. Just wondering, how long would I be able to keep the 3 pound package in the fridge (unopened) so that it would still be a delicious product? Thanks

Impressive Service and Delicious Cheese!

This was my first, but not last time for ordering from igourmet. The shipping and packaging were great. The whole form Esrom was still cool when I received it. The cheese was wonderful. A real family treat!

Fabulous Elbodal Esrom!

I just received my first order of whole form Esrom. First, the packaging/shipping was excellent. Now, for the cheese. It is EXACTLY like our family remembered from Europe. The taste and texture are incredible. We sliced it using a 'bread machine' which gave us uniform slices...3 pounds may not be enough until Easter. Thank you "igourmet" for providing this #1 Cheese product for consumers. I will definitely order from your company in the future.
